Problem 1 on current electricity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a problem related to current and voltage in an electrical circuit involving resistors and a capacitor. Key steps include determining the current and voltage across resistor R2 as functions of time, which are essential for calculating the generated heat using the specified integral formula. Participants emphasize the importance of demonstrating effort before seeking direct answers, aligning with forum policies. The conversation highlights the necessity of applying Kirchhoff's laws and understanding series and parallel resistor equations. Ultimately, engagement in the problem-solving process is encouraged for better learning outcomes.

First you need to find current and voltage across R_{2} as a function of time. Then you can find the generated heat by using the formula

W_{2}=\int^{\infty}_{0}V_{2}(t)I_{2}(t)dt,

where V_{2} and I_{2} are the voltage and current across resistor R_{2}. As you see, time goes from 0 to infinity (when the capacitor is fully charged).

It's against the policy! You need to show some effort first.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
